Hip, pelvic,lower back pain on left side with pain down left leg at times.
I have pain in lower back on left side, left hip pain, left pelvic pain and pain down the left leg at times. It comes and goes. Gets real bad,(when I put weight on left leg) then can ease up within minutes with changing position. I had similar trouble when I was about 30 but it went away. Any ideas? I am 47 now.
hi i'm alfon, 22 and i'm experiencing the same exact feeling as the others here..
i've done ct scan imaging and was founded to have disc bulging. remarkably on the L4-L5 and L5-S1..
my doctor also told me that a lot of nerves are being compressed that is why im experiencing burning pain in my lower hip down to the foot.
now, less of the back pain. but the pain transferred to the upper pelvic area and sometimes in the lower abdomen..
i cant walk or even stand for a long period of time and i always have the need to sit.
the doctor advised me to take ketesse and pregabalin for the nerve and pain and some supplement for the nerves too...
will the pain go away??or will it be permanent?
help :(

Get your vitamin d levels checked. I am deficient and this causes pain in the bones and joints. its a cheap fix that many surgeons don't want you to know. Do a search and see what comes up you will be surprised at what you find!
I had exactly the same thing and suffered with it for 4 years. The last year I was told I had ankylosing spondilitis and was treated for a year or so but it just didn't help.
Do you have kyphosis (hunch in upper spine) per chance?
I had surgery to straighten my spine 6 weeks ago. My doctor believes that it was the hunch and upper spinal stiffness causing me to use my lower back like a hinge. My lower back was over compensating for the lack of movement in my upper back. He says that this was pinching nerves in my lower back and causing the pain. Hence the reason it goes away so fast. As soon as you lift your leg or rest your lower spine the nerve isn't pinched any more.
Now I'm only 6 weeks in from major surgery so I don't know what the long term effects will be but so far I haven't had the pain since the op.
Hope it helps.

I am going on 45, for the last 3+ years I have been in chronic pain. It began in my low left side of back, spread to cover left hip, then left leg then left foot, then right foot, then right low back, right hip, abdomen, right leg. Now I am in constant horrible pain even with strong pain killers from my low back to my toes. My feet are completely numb yet the bones inside hurt horribly. Sharp jabbing pains in my knees are the only pains that come and go, everything else is constantly there and hurting so badly. I have degenerative disc disease throughout my spine, arthritis through out my entire spine, a couple of bulged discs and recently found by accident that I have tumors on both ovaries with the left one so large it is pushing my uterus to the right. I will be having a complete hysterectomy next month and I pray this will elevate this pain, because the last month I have been living non stop at a 10+ for my pain number even with high doses of medications. I have prayed for death just to no longer be tortured and I begged GOD to take me on the operating table if I will not be pain free after this operation. I cannot do it anymore. Constant torture! I went from doing everything to being barely able to do simple things for myself in the last three plus years. I keep telling them I must have cancer in order to have this much pain and for it to keep spreading. They won't know if the tumors are cancer for sure until they are removed and tested. Pray for me, please.... Pray this surgery will stop my torture. Thank you!
I have the same pain, left side deep in just under my ribs, lower abdominal pain, lower back pain all the time, sometimes feel bloated or sore stomach. I dont know what it is.
